Re: Pakistans -should they live in Pakistan or in the West?
Actually its a really good question.... i will try to explain what happened in my case and what i have seen around me .....
i came to usa to do my masters.... i came straigt away after graduating and didnt get to work at all in pakistan ...so my plans were to get done with my Masters and work (just to get some experience) for 1 year and then head back and get a decent job back home...
i have been here for more then 4 years now... as soon as i got out of univ. i got a really nice job and my plan for "gaining experience" extended a little bit....
the bottom line is that when some body asks this question, i am so lost ... i have a great career here, alhamdulillah i lead a decent life and drive a nice car and top of this all i am completly independent....
FEARS
the things that hold me from going back ...
1. stories that i hear from my friends regarding getting jobs back home
2. even if u get a decent job , u still are not completly independent and need to depend on lots of folks to get lost of things done
3. cost of living back home
Now i had a really good offer back home recently but all of my friends and relatives asked me to stay here for some more time ....so i am lost regarding what should i do ...that should i stay here or go back....when u think about ur family , u really want to go back and live with them but at the same time u gotta think like a man and not like a boy any more...
this is exactly how most of my friends feel, who are in the same situation....
i am sure there are different stories as well....
